Specifications for Device Telemetry

Please let me know if you have any information.

Regarding device telemetry, there was a report last year that it would be automated starting with releases from 10.2.17 onward.

My understanding is that it will be enabled automatically and cannot be turned on or off.

However, looking at the URL below:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ngfw/administration/device-telemetry/device-telemetry-configure/device-telemetry-enable

I found the following statement:
By default, your device does not share data with Palo Alto Networks. If sharing is enabled, you can stop sharing all device telemetry by: DeviceSetupTelemetry, uncheck the Enable Telemetry box, and then commit your change.

I understood that device telemetry was automated, enabled by default, and could not be toggled on or off—has the specification changed?
